I just finished developing the v1 of my open-source blogging platform i called bloggy. You can download it at http://bloggy.the. . .. Check it out/try to hack it at http://www.zomgz.. . . and all comments/suggestion are welcome.

If anyone has problems with it just notify me anyway you can and i'll look into it.

It's all php/mysql and runs on either php4 or php5. It's very lightweight and easy to use.

I hope that people like it and I submitted it to http://www.opensourcecms.com and hopefully it should be up on there soon.

Thanks,
atrcomb

I have to say, you're going to want to clean your code up significantly.

After looking at core.php I recoiled in fear; how are you able to maintain this application when it's so messy?

I'd say make it a lot more modular and don't include HTML inside strings (e.g. use PHP as a HTML templating engine, not a HTML-in-a-string-manipulating-engine).

Which license is it released under?

Also, if you want I can throw an hour or two at it and clean up some code.

GPL License

As to cleaning up code, I knew full well plenty of people would tell me that when I released it, and even while I was coding I literally thought to myself, I should do it this way instead but didn't. I'll take care of cleaning up code in later releases, this release just fixed some really nescessary stuff.

RE: Open-Source Blog

u know its really weird you said that system, cuz i had that
but for some reason on my friends server running php4 it wouldn't work.

I'll use
ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $_GET["id"]);

EDIT: Found the same thing in favorite.php, fixed it though

Thanks for your continuing commentary though.

Ok, so we'll take the other route like system_meltdown's started

its not that im refusing help, its just im already aware of what can be done and don't want you wasting your time doing something you don't have to. Im appreciative of help/points you can give me and I want to make sure you don't think I have the attitude "I'm gonna do this myself no matter what."
